[blfs-dev] Xfconf-4.10.0 and Glib-1.280

2012-12-12 Thread Wolf
Glib-1.262 is only required to build Xfconf's Perl bindings; it is not
required to build Xfconf.

   Sounds nice, but what about when a newer version of a module
  suddenly brings in a whole load of extra dependencies ?
 
 That would be the case in any update. Problem is that CPAN typically deletes
 old versions, and that requires users to find and install updated versions.

 I didn't know that.
 I have extensive experience with Perl Modules and have found that they are
 very backwards compatible. What worked in the past typically works going
 forward.

 OK, I'm happy to take your word for that.
 
 In the case of LWP (which you mentioned), I have made significant updates to
 that portion of the Perl Module page, and I am confident that the new
 instructions I will commit will work for some time.
 
 Great, I have no problems with you making this change.

 I hope those aren't the versions you are using to _test_ any
general changes you are making ;-)

Gosh, if I were to use that box for testing, I'd have to give up. It is very
slow. I only use it for email. In fact, I don't even need it as I have many
machines available, but it has sentimental value. I've had it forever and it
won't die. It is too slow to update to a current release of LFS, though I
suppose I could fire up JHalfs and wait a few days! But then I would have to
install X and Thunderbird. I shudder at the thought of doing that on this
machine.

It works fine as my LFS email client. :-)
